Thanks to all for the kind words of support. To Wayne L.: Thanks on the info about Kawanishi green. My green was made up with Model Master Medium Green mixed with some Testor's Flat Black and a little Dark Sea Blue. Guess I should have used more of the Testor's Dark Sea Blue in my mix. Oh well.... I'll try it on my Shiden-Kai. That's on my to-build list for next year. To TimEwers: The prop brown is supposed to be a "tea" color. I tried to approximate it by toning down some Model Master Leather.
